Chest Workout to Keep Implants from Getting Smaller?

Question

I have lost around 10 pounds, and my breast implants are looking smaller. Is there any type of chest workout I can do to keep this from happening?

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

If your implants are under the muscle, exercise may actually push the implants lower which could in turn make them look even smaller. There are a number of good exercises you can do for the upper body without focusing on your pecs, which would be my advice.

Thanks for your question -
There is no exercise that will help with decreases in breast volume as you lose weight.  Exercises that build up the pectoralis muscle will be unlikely to demonstrate any significant improvement.
It can be very frustrating but your body (anyone's body) does not gain or lose weight uniformly.  Some areas of the body will lose or gain weight at a faster rate than other parts.  In addition, these areas can change as we get older.
I hope this helps.

There are no exercises that will make implants look bigger. It is a very simple formula based upon the volume of the implant. If you want larger breasts, you need larger implants.

There are no exercises that will increase breast size.  Unfortunately some women will experience a decrease in breast size due to weight loss.  I have seen a women go from a D cup to an A cup with a 15 pound weight loss.  The only available option would be to go to a larger breast size.

Sooner24:Of course, your implants are probably the same size but the weight loss has caused you to have less fat within your breasts.  Normal breasts have plenty of body fat.  You can't control which body areas experience fat loss or fat gain.  You can only control overall loss or gain.We don't think chest or pectoral muscle development changes breast size at all.  Some development of the upper portion of the pectoral muscle provides a fit, healthy and youthful appearance for the upper chest or torso, though.  Moderate exercise may be best.
